Best Web hosting provider

What is your recommendation? The current webhosting is increasing the monthly free to $20 which is B.S....

I'm looking into Yahoo, GoDaddy and 1and1...

Comment?

    I love hostmonster. They rock and I pay $5.95 per month and give me tons of space, bandwidth, databases, and third party scripts. They also have great 24/7 service and live chat service. I've had several webhosts and this has been the best so far.

    Ive used 1&1 for about 3 years now and very satisfied. $5 a month gets you a lot.

    My opinion, it depends for your kind of website. My isp wants 50 bucks extra a month to upgrade my account to a business account , and unblock ports 80,21,25, etc. If your running a huge traffic generating website I suggest hosting it on your own, if its a small website I suggest using wirenine very cheap.

    I would go with Blue Host (www.bluehost.com) they are awesome, lots of space and support that really speaks english. I think that it is about $7.00 a month.
    If at first you don't succeed, failure may be your style!

    I've said this before, but Host Monster and Blue Host have to be the same company:
    http://www.bluehost.com
    http://www.hostmonster.com

    I've used Blue Host before, and it worked out fine. I switched to Mosso because I host numerous client sites as well, but Blue Host is fine for a personal site.

    I use hostmonster aswell. Never had any problems, pretty cheap, and good tech suppor the few times ive had questions. What more could you want?

    Never used 1on1, sound s like its probably similar though.

    I use http://searchitup.com - I paid $29.95/year but they do have a $9.95/year option. Been with them for 4 years now, very reliable.

    I only did a web site once, and that was years ago. www.brinkster.com was fine for when I was learning asp. Hope that helps.

    That's weird! For some reason I was thinking the company itself originated in Germany. However, it may have something to do with the cost of hosting servers in the UK. Is that possibly more expensive?

    Another vote for Mosso, www.mosso.com/, they have great support by people who speak understandable English.

    Hehe, so many choices! I'm going to be starting a personal website soon, after reading this, I'm having trouble deciding on which host to go with myself! There are a lot of good suggestions here!

    It is weird and annoying, at the end of the day I would rather the server be hosted in the US if it saved costs and increased functionality like the advertise!

    Im just wondering if they will allow me to do that.........

    www.1and1.com

    Hosts my site in sig

    $30 for 6 months.

    I use it for my e-mail as well. And I upload random programs to the ftp site that I may unknowingly need when I'm away from the house. Best $30 ever spent every 6 months.
